Can someone on the test version explain exactly how the critter crowding changes things?

I have some tame and some wild critters in my current base, and I'd prefer not to have them start dying off when the update releases.

It's designed to not change anything if you aren't using the Critter Fountain, that's because if there is any overcrowding, the happiness penalty starts at -5, the same as the old penalty. Then the penalty is increased by 1 for each additional critter, but critter happiness is binary: it's either happy or glum and it doesn't matter if the happiness is -1 or -100.

When you give critters both +5 happiness buffs (from groomed and hydrated), then critters have +10 happiness to work with, that means you can add 5 more critters into a ranch before they become glum but when the hydrated bonus is not in play things should be completely unchanged.

So no more infinite Pacu farm?

Happiness have no impact on base reproduction. Being happy, simply give you a bonus.

Here at -19 Happiness

Here's happy.

I wish the game had an egg basket.
